2. How to trim and maintain aquatic plants

Pruning of water plants Due to the different types and characteristics of water plants, the styles to be presented are different, and the pruning methods are also different. Here, according to the types of water plants, the following introduction is made: Pruning of stem water plants Stem water plants have a variety of leaf shapes and rich leaf colors. In the water plant tank, they fully show their charming charm and are the most widely used water plants. For example, the yellow-green round leaves of the dwarf pearl, the pagoda with needle-like green fluff, the red butterfly with pink and red like rose petals, and the slender leaves like red cranberries. Because of the need for landscaping, sometimes the feeling of dense growth is expressed, or the unique posture of water plants is expressed, so when pruning, the following two methods can be used. Densely growing water plants often show vitality and exude enthusiasm. For example, a piece of emerald green pearl grass, as its name suggests, is like a shining pearl in the water, blooming with green light. When planting, plant the whole area according to the needs of the landscaping. After the growth is stable, the water plants can be trimmed directly to the ridge line of the landscaping. Each water plant will grow side buds, so that you can have a whole dense forest of water plants.

Note that when pruning, the second pruning needs to be higher than the first pruning. For example, if the first pruning is about 5 cm above the bottom bed, the second pruning needs to be 8-10 cm, because the old stems will gradually become woody and cannot grow new buds. In landscaping, the beautiful posture of water plants should be shown, exuding charming charm, such as red butterflies, pagodas, and big red leaves. Usually the whole plant is pulled up, the required length is taken, the excess part of the rhizome is trimmed off, and three stem nodes are left to remove the leaves on the stem nodes. When implanting in the bottom bed, two stem nodes are completely implanted in the bottom sand, leaving one stem node unimplanted. The first of the two stem nodes implanted in the bottom sand is to prevent the water plants from being accidentally injured by the water grass clips during planting and unable to grow roots and rot. The second node usually grows new roots before rotting. The third stem node will also grow roots on the bottom sand, making the water plants more stable.

Pruning of clumping water plantsClumping water plants have different leaf shapes and colors, which can express tropical style and create the atmosphere of the rainforest. They are also widely used water plants, such as crown grass, long-leaf nine crown, net grass, etc.Clumping water plants here refer to clumping water plants such as crown grass. When pruning, you only need to prune the old leaves, rotten leaves and leaves with algae from the petiole. When pruning, it is not advisable to prune part of the leaves, because after the photosynthetic point at the top is pruned, the leaves will not be able to photosynthesize normally, which is harmful to the growth of water plants. When pruning, do not do too much pruning to avoid affecting the normal growth of water plants.Pruning of bulbous water plantsThe leaves of bulbous water plants have rich color changes, which can express their own characteristics and beauty. They are independent and eye-catching water plants, such as lotus roots, purple water lilies, red taro, etc. When pruning, it is roughly the same as clump water plants. When planting bulbous water plants, floating leaves will sometimes grow. If you want to maintain the growth pattern of the leaves in the water, you can trim the newly grown floating leaves from near the roots (whenever long petioles grow, the floating leaves close to the water surface should be trimmed). The newly grown petioles will become shorter and maintain a beautiful posture. Trimming of runner water plants Generally, small clumping water plants are mostly propagated by runners, such as pointed-leaf crown, small water orchid, twisted orchid, etc. When trimming a single water plant, the trimming method is the same as that of general clumping water plants, and the old leaves and yellow leaves are cut off. When the runners are too dense, the trimming method is to cut the water plants to be trimmed directly from the runners, pull them up and discard them.

Water grass shears:

1. Choose sharp water grass shears. Sharp scissors are not easy to make incomplete cuts at the cut site of water grass when trimming. Incomplete cuts will cause necrosis and rot of cut cells after planting, affecting the growth of water grass.

2. Choose a pair of aquatic plant shears that can be used with either hand. There are some corners in the aquarium that require both hands to be used alternately to trim smoothly without affecting the quality of trimming. Therefore, this is one of the key points to consider when choosing.

3. How to prune potted plants

Reasonable pruning of potted flowers can make the branches reasonably distributed, save nutrients, and regulate the growth. The potted flowers will appear graceful and will also bloom and bear more fruits. Pruning after germination not only wastes nutrients, but also makes it difficult to shape. Therefore, it is particularly important to prune potted flowers before they sprout in spring. Before pruning, you must fully understand the growth characteristics and flowering parts of potted flowers before you can start pruning. Pruning is generally divided into four situations: heavy pruning, medium pruning, light pruning and pinching. 1. Heavy pruning For potted flowers that bloom on annual branches, such as roses, jasmine, gardenia, hibiscus, crape myrtle, etc., heavy pruning is performed. It makes new branches sprout and the plants are renewed and stronger. More flowers and fruits. The knife or scissors used for pruning should be sharp, and the cuts should be smooth to prevent the branches from breaking. In order to prevent the cuts from rotting downwards, the cuts can be coated with wax. When pruning, pay attention to selecting buds that grow outward to facilitate the even outward expansion of branches, make the plants beautiful, and also facilitate ventilation and light transmission. 2. Medium pruning For potted flowers that need to be properly pruned before they can bloom well, such as wintersweet, pomegranate, kumquat, etc., medium pruning can be performed. And thinning and pruning should be emphasized at the same time. For annual branches that have bloomed, leave 2 to 3 buds on the stem and prune them short to promote the emergence of side branches, and remove long branches, cross branches and diseased branches. 3. Light pruning For potted flowers that bloom on biennial branches, light pruning is performed. Such as camellia, gardenia, peach, Milan, white orchid, etc. Just cut off the extra side branches, diseased branches and top tips. Make the main branches strong. When pruning, artificial shaping can be performed. According to personal preferences and the actual growth conditions of the plants, they can be trimmed into umbrella shapes, pagoda shapes, etc. 4. Topping For those herbaceous potted flowers, such as violets, daisies, snapdragons, calendulas, black heart chrysanthemums, etc., pinching and topping should be performed. It is necessary to pinch and top the flowers several times to make them grow more lateral buds, make the plants short, strong and beautiful, and have luxuriant branches and leaves, so as to increase the number of flowers and prolong the flowering period. After the flowers fade, the remaining flowers should be cut off in time to facilitate the remaining flower heads to bloom more vigorously.

4. How to trim the water plants when they are too long?

There are special scissors for aquatic plants, which are very sharp. Using those scissors to cut the aquatic plants will not affect their growth. If you find scissors to trim them yourself, you should find the sharper the better.

Most aquatic plants can still grow and reproduce after being trimmed and planted in the bottom sand.

When pruning, pay attention to the length and cut off the excess. You can continue to cultivate the remaining branches.
